  • Hybrid vehicle rigid routing cable assembly
    Publication number: 20060272845
    Abstract: The present invention is a routable rigid conductor assembly 10 having a core conductor 20 with a plurality of insulating dielectric layers and an armored exterior layer 70 that is capable of being routed to effect electrical transmission to, for example, a hybrid vehicle electric motor. The conductor assembly 10 of the present invention may be shaped to conform to specific routing configurations required for power transmission in a wide variety of industrial applications while providing impact protection to the conductor inside the assembly.

  • Modular pressure swing adsorption process and apparatus
    Patent number: 6918953
    Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system including a first group of PSA modules having a plurality of first PSA modules, and a second group of PSA modules having a plurality of second PSA modules. The system includes a feed gas manifold, a product manifold, and a waste manifold connected to the first PSA modules and the second PSA modules. Each first PSA module operates on a first PSA cycle in synchronization with the other first PSA modules, and each second PSA module operates on a second PSA cycle in synchronization with the other second PSA modules. The first PSA cycle is offset from the second PSA cycle. The PSA modules include a plurality of pressurized adsorbent chambers, an inlet manifold, and an outlet manifold. A rigid structure is provided that connects the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold, and structurally joins the inlet and outlet manifolds to the adsorbent chambers.
